Experiences getting DOT physical/ recs on where to go

Hi! I need to get a DOT physical for my job but I am worried about it being weird since I will need the female version and my documents all say male. Anyone have experience getting one? Have any recs in where to go for one? Thanks!

Seeking support group(s) for ppl estranged from their biological family and/or childhood neglect survivors

Recs for finding a specific T4T kink connection

Hi! I have a few fantasies and kinks I would love to do with another transmasc but I’m not sure where to find someone who is interested. I’ve tried Grindr and Scruff but I think a lot of ppl on those apps don’t read the profiles very in depth and there’s not very many transmascs on them (at least for me). I live in a city with a huge trans population so I’m sure there’s folks around who would be interested, I’m just not sure how to find them. Thanks!

Coping with Mouse Infestation Trauma

Hello! Growing up mice were a constant torment in my parents’ hoarded nightmare of a home. They had (still have tbh) a horrible infestation. I moved out in 2019 and have been lucky enough to not have any mice issues at my apartments until now. I moved to a new city and unfortunately got scammed on the quality of apartment. Part of that quality issue is the mice. Thankfully the unit was empty for a bit before I moved in and they’re not fully infested. They just seem to pass through for now. I have documented it and told my landlord. It took them almost a month to get pest control to my unit. About 3 weeks after pest control was here, I found a dead mouse in my living room and have spotted some other signs along the wall.

I am communicating with my landlord already and documenting everything. I more need advice on the coping and not the dealing with the mice themselves.

Dealing with it has been so triggering and makes me want to avoid my apartment. Thankfully the day I found the dead mouse was a weekend because I just shut down all day and have been struggling to re regulate afterwards. I just feel so hopeless and disgusted.

Apartment Advice

My partner and I just moved to Minneapolis from out of state yesterday. We moved here for better economic opportunity, and due to that we didn’t have the funds to come tour an apartment in person before moving and had limited options. Now that we’re here, the apartment is completely different that what we were told it looked like/ the pics and video tours we were shown, doesn’t have AC (like the units in the pics and vids we were shown), and there are mice. We aren’t really sure what to do at this point since we’ve had everything signed for so long and can’t afford to move so soon. I’m not even really sure what we want to do. I feel like we were swindled and idk what to do. It’s way more a month than what I would’ve been willing to pay for what the reality of it is. Thanks!

Best Places to Work- Factory/Laborer

Hello! I’m moving to the Twin Cities in a couple weeks and I’m trying to find a new job. I’m looking for some sort of factory or laborer job but those environments can often be not the friendliest to trans folks so I was wondering if anyone had any experience or recommendations for places I should check out or avoid. Thanks!

Is there a cute lil micro label/ flag for T4T gay

Meaning like trans guys or mascs who’re only into other trans guys or mascs? I enjoy very specific labels and flags and if there’s not then maybe we should think of a name or something :)

Idea for using up about 1/3 of a box of Malt-O-Meal (hot wheat cereal) that ISN’T baked goods

It is way too hot where I live to want to use the oven right now but I’ve become sick of using this as its regular self for breakfast. Yes, I’ve also had it savory. It’s more of a texture thing. Thanks!

Getting Over Internal Shame About Androgyny/ Gender Bending

Hi! I’m FTX but have medically transitioned to the point of passing as a man. I live in a very conservative area where I have had to be stealth for safety basically since I started passing. I am moving to a queer metro area in a few months and I have been trying to really figure out my gender expression more besides just feeling boxed in and stuck. It’s hard though because I keep getting upset with myself for not looking manly enough or worrying about looking “gross” for mixing gendered things. I used to really enjoy playing with my expression but it’s been so long I think I have really internalized that disgust that cis ppl can have towards visibly trans and GNC folks.

My partner and I have been polyam for years now and often struggle with making new friends that just want to be friends. It has happened consistently, especially with people who are single and have never tried polyamory before. We both make it known to the person that we aren’t looking to do anything beyond be friends from the start. Us being polyam only really comes up due to talking about random dating stuff or whatever and clarifying that we aren’t serial cheaters lol. But it feels like every time the potential new friend ends up meeting the other person that wasn’t the original friend, it ends up getting weird fast. It feels like the opposite side of the unicorn hunter problem where the person wants to get in the middle of us really bad even when we aren’t interested in them like that at all. It has happened at least 5 different times in the past few years and it is hard enough making friends but it’s just really dejecting and idk what to do since both of our best solution is communicate we aren’t interested (but we already do that). It just feels so violating and weird. We have tried telling the people who do it how we feel after they violate that boundary but it often leads to them just freaking out in various ways and making it very hard to continue wanting to be friends. It’s a real bummer too because we live in a conservative area where meeting other queer people can be hard and it feels like no one values us beyond wanting to sleep with us. It would be great to know we aren’t alone in this struggle at least.

Edit: typo
